We're constantly looking for opportunities to expand our range of MSC certified products, both by converting existing products in our range to MSC certified raw material and by launch- ing brand new products. "So far this year we've converted around 30 cod lines to using MSC certified fish; our innovative new products include a Mac & Cheese Smoked Haddock MSC Fish Cake and Hand-Battered MSC Cod Fillet. Almost 50% of our fish and seafood range is MSC certified we're incredibly proud of this, and we'll continue to build our range around this focus.

This award emphasises our position as a company leading the way for the foodservice industry, setting the standard in the provision of responsibly sourced fish and seafood."
